I have similar issues reversing up our snowy drive. We have about 5 inches on the drive. Driving up seems easier than reversing up. However there are a couple of things which make a differen ... |

Thanks Yorky!
I can find lots on the transmission error and other threads on the fuel gauge issue. I expect they are separate faults.
